You know what programming is, now learn how to do it in Python with a crash coarse in the syntax. We'll start with 'Hello World!', followed by an introduction to the list and key/value dictionary data types, then touch on function and class definitions, and end when we run out of time. I will mention the standard library and package index, but discover...

This month is part 2 of our VFP Tips and Tricks series. Come prepared with one or two (or more) short items you want to share with the group. They can be about the VFP UI, the language, application design, great tools, or pretty much anything else VFP-related. (And it’s okay to come even if you have no tips to share.)
